Arcade Fire inadvertently confirm Glastonbury 2014 appearance

During a chat with BBC Radio 2 host Jo Whiley earlier, Arcade Fire’s Win Butler inadvertently gave it away the indie-electro group will be playing at next year’s Glastonbury Festival.

Toward the end of the interview, Butler announced that the band may be spending a lot of time in the UK over the summer, and for fans to “get your wellies ready”. Whiley then added fuel to fire by closing saying “No actual confirmation, however the wellies have been bought for a certain UK festival; we know, the one that has a reputation for quite a lot of rain”.

Exciting stuff. If true, Arcade Fire will join an already-confirmed Lily Allen along with Stanton Warriors to the 2014 event at Somerset’s Worthy Farm.
